| - When I moved here 23 years ago I thought I found my "donut shop for life" in Donut Delight on Sahara only to have it close. Puffins Pastries on Sandhill became my new donut fixation but unfortunately they also closed. One day a few years ago a co-worker brought in a box of donuts for a business meeting. I was intrigued to see they weren't from a chain so I took one (glazed raised) and was completely taken by surprise at how good it was - glazed raised are not my donut of choice but if they could get such a simple, plain donut so right; yeasty, not greasy, slightly sweet with just the right amount of glaze, there might be hope. I went that Saturday and bought my favorite - an apple fritter - and was pleased to find they didn't disappoint. Crispy edges, lots of apple flavor/pieces, spicy and not too sweet. You can't really call an apple fritter light and fluffy, but it was by no means greasy or heavy, just filling. I have since had their maple bars, old fashioned, plain cake, chocolate/chocolate, and cinnamon buns. Friendly's is now my "donut shop for life".
